Chapter 25 three

Toke Khan's provocation gave King Timur an excuse to put the arrow on the bow. Five days later, King Timur led an army to conquer Khwarazmo, who had surrendered and rebelled.Although Sulaiman openly rebelled under Tuke's instigation, but faced with the menacing King Timur, he was defeated in several battles. Golden Horde.He became Tok Khan's aide-de-camp in the Golden Horde, and has been following Tok Khan ever since. King Timur regained Khwarazmo again, and soon occupied Jade Dragon Jiechi.He was angry at the betrayal of the Khwarazmi people, so he moved all the residents of Yulong Jiechi to Samarkand in a rage, and at the same time ordered the destruction of Yulong Jiechi, and planted a lot of barley on the ruins.

He sent envoys to the Golden Horde to give Tuke Khan a fatherly admonition.Tok Khan immediately admitted his mistake, saying that he was ignorant of current affairs and would never make the same mistake again in the future. King Timur received Toke Khan's reply and temporarily stopped his attack on the Golden Horde. Someday, a woman and her yurt suddenly appeared in the Chagatai camp. Her yurt is like nothing we've seen before.Looking from the front, it looks like three bungalows, the middle one is larger, with blue patterns painted on the roof and around the door frame, and the two attached next to it are slightly smaller, made of blue and white curtains, and the color is also very simple , contrasting with the blue sky and white clouds.

Everyone said she came from the far east, but no one knew where she came from.She usually lived in seclusion, but even King Timur and the Queen came to visit her in person.I and the other children saw her only once from a distance, and we all agreed that she was a fairy.She always likes to wear a plain robe, a silver flower or a pure white velvet hat. When she walks, she looks like a light cloud floating on the grass. For a while, an army of King Timur took turns guarding her yurt, but soon the army was gone and everything was back to normal. Children like me and I were warned not to approach her yurt casually.However, since I was warned by Aya, I tried my best to sneak into her yurt.

I was looking for an opportunity, and finally, I found a perfect opportunity. That day, I saw her being invited to the palace, accompanied by two maids.In the afternoon, the sky changed without warning. The wind was strong and the clouds were dense. People were busy driving the livestock back to their homes. Several servants of the Fairy’s house went out to help. I took this opportunity to sneak into her yurt. In the Chagatai camp, none of the tents are locked. Fairy's home is obviously much simpler than the luxury I imagined. There is no expensive furniture, and there is no special decoration. The only difference is that her home exudes an intoxicating fragrance in the tranquility. breath.I rolled my eyes desperately, trying to get a full view of what I saw.If the little friends knew that I had indeed slipped into the fairy yurt, they would definitely envy me and admire my courage.

It's a pity that, apart from a framed plaque with gold characters on a blue background hanging on the western wall of the yurt, and a word I don't know is written vertically on the plaque, there is really nothing unusual or at least something that I can use as a talking point thing. I'm a little disappointed.At this moment, I saw something on the table in the back, and my curiosity drove me to go over it, only to find that it was a framed painting spread out on the table.An oil painting, which depicts a church, is colorful but solemn. This is a rare three-dimensional painting, the composition from bottom to top subtly shows the effect of gradually entering from outside to inside.

When my eyes moved over the painting, the magnificent and magnificent church front yard first jumped into my eyes.There are nine white stone pillars erected in the courtyard, and on the high pier in front of the courtyard, a huge bronze-carved horse has two wings on its back, flapping its wings to fly.One of the bronze horse's front hooves and one hind hoof are suspended in the air, adding to its galloping demeanor.A warrior sits on horseback. The warrior holds the rein with his left hand, his right arm is raised high, his fingers are stretched out, and a spherical object hangs from his wrist.

In the middle of the painting is the gate pavilion supported by four stone pillars. The gate pavilion is magnificent, and the gate is built under the gate pavilion.Inside the gate, you can see the main entrance, and when you enter the main gate, you can see the main hall. The main hall is located in the middle and upper part of the painting. There are five doors, which seem to be cast in bronze. Four of the doors are closed, and only the huge door in the middle is open, from which the sculptures and statues in the hall can be seen. The upper part of the painting is the minaret of the main hall, towering toweringly, with four large red pillars supporting the lower part of the minaret. Inside the tower, there are faintly visible statues ringing up, lifelike.There is an altar in the center of the main hall, and there are statues between the high hanging walls of the corridor and on the top wall.The color of the statue is magnificent.A huge stone is embedded on the wall of the right cloister. The surrounding colored stones are like clouds in the sky, and the middle is white. Three portraits are carved on the huge stone. In the middle is a beautiful woman with a child in her arms. The woman is radiant and energetic.The man next to her is serious and serious, and the outline of the whole body is wonderful because it is carved according to the lines on the stone, as if it was made by nature.

Could it be that this painting was painted by a fairy?You can't be wrong, only fairies can draw such immersive paintings.I was finally able to show off my discovery to my friends. I was fascinated by seeing it, and I was even more fascinated by it. At this moment, I heard someone whispering in my ear: "Do you understand?" I said "hmm". Then, I looked up to see a smiling face looking down at me, and I froze. I thought I had met a fairy, but I wouldn't be so surprised if I actually met a fairy.Looking down at me is just a weak, still somewhat childish face, which looks at most seventeen or eighteen years old.Fair forehead, eyebrows of appropriate shade, long dark chestnut hair curled up high, moist and delicate skin that is almost transparent.Under the long eyelashes are a pair of deep almond eyes, with dark brown pupils shining a quiet and mysterious light inside.The small and soft chin, the straight bridge of the nose, the elegant and sensitive rosy lip line.Even a fairy could not be more memorable than her.

I looked at her, motionless as if under a spell. She reached out and stroked my face gently.Her fingers are cold. "Like this painting, don't you?" Her voice was soft and slow like spring water flowing on a stone. "Who are you?" I blurted out in surprise. A smile flashed across the fairy's face: "You can call me Princess Oella just like the people around me." "Are you a princess? Where are you from?" "I'm from China. If you don't like to call me princess, you can call me Oela." "No, I want to call you a princess. You are so beautiful, so you must be a princess." I am telling the truth. From this day on, I will only call her "Princess".

"So, Cecia, tell me, do you like this painting very much?" I was very surprised: "How do you know my name is Cecia?" "Didn't you always want to find a chance to enter my yurt? You even bet your little friend that you can do it." "God, how do you know that?" "I will count." I patted my forehead.I understand that Princess Oela is indeed a fairy, and it is precisely because of this that nothing can be hidden from her. Fairy, no, I'm going to call her a princess now.Just knowing her name is enough for me to brag to my friends. The princess stroked the Venus between my eyebrows with her finger: "Did you have this Venus from birth?"

"Aya said yes." "Born with Venus, you must be ingenious when you grow up. You seem to have a special perception of art. Just now, you probably didn't know how focused you were on the painting. Even I stood behind you for a while You didn't even notice." "Did you draw this picture?" "No, it was given to me by others. I like to collect famous paintings from all over the world, and I take them out to enjoy them when I have nothing to do. It's a pity that I can't draw. I have several other paintings that are as good as this one. You want Don't watch it?" "is it okay?" "Of course. You wait, I'll get it." I had a sudden blissful feeling and this day was just so magical and wonderful for me. I pointed to the painting and asked, "Can you tell me first, who is this woman and this man?" The princess replied: "The woman is the Virgin Mary with Christ in her arms, and the man is St. John." I have heard of both of these names, and I asked Princess Oeira, "You must believe in Christianity, right?" The princess shook her head, "No, I believe in longevity!" My eyes fell on the plaque on the west side of the tent: "Is that it?" "You're so smart. Yes." The princess really went out to get the painting, and she said that the painting was put in the yurt next to it.I looked down and continued to look at the painting, but in fact I didn't see anything. I was so excited that one of my hands started to cramp because of the excitement. I was rubbing my fingers when a man rushed in and grabbed my hair.It's Aya. "I told you, you are not allowed to come in here. What kind of place is this that you can come in! You shameless little girl! I won't let you come, why are you so disobedient!" She roared angrily , if she had red hair at this time, I would definitely regard her as a monster in a fairy tale. I twisted my body, trying to break free from her hand.She pulled my hair so badly. "Let go! Let go! Let go!" I bared my teeth and shouted repeatedly. "Don't let it go! Don't let it go! Don't let it go!" Aya replied to me.You see, this is the habit of quarreling with Aya. Aya is never like my grandmother, she is more like my sister. Aya's strength is much stronger than mine, I wish I could grow up immediately and knock her down to the ground. Aya continued to grab my hair and pull me out.Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a person coming in, it was Princess Oela. "What are you doing?" she said softly to Aya. Aya looked at Princess Oeira in surprise, and opened her mouth wide.However, she forgot to let go of my hair. "You hurt her, Aya." As if under a spell, Aya let go obediently.Princess Oeira pulled me to her side, untied my hair, and began to comb my hair with a delicate horn comb. I suddenly want to cry.When I was eight years old, no one had ever been so gentle and considerate to me except Shana. My long black hair became smooth little by little in the princess's hands, and the most gratifying thing for me was that luckily I just washed my hair today. Aya still looked at the princess with an unbelievable expression. After a while, she asked in a whisper, "You... how do you know my name?" My goodness, she used "you".This is not like Aya. When she spoke to King Timur, she always used only "you". "Of course I know you." The princess smiled.When she smiled, she looked even more charming and unparalleled. Princess Oela knew about Aya, it must be because Aya was notorious in the camp of the Chagatai people.The princess knows me, maybe because I am Aya's granddaughter, and I have a gold star between my eyebrows. Aya probably thought the same way, she scratched her hair, showing a rare uneasy expression. "I'm sorry." She murmured. "why apologize'?" "Your noble tent, people like us can come in casually." Princess Oela looked at Aya seriously, and still asked slowly: "Aren't you from Chagatai?" Aya didn't understand what she meant, and blinked her eyes, speechless for a moment.I answered for her: "We are from Chagatai, that's right." "That's right, you are all my relatives. I came here to join the Chagatai people. You took me in tolerantly and protected me. I am very grateful to you." Aya stared at Princess Oela. For a moment, she sniffled, and her eyes turned red.Aya's performance today is really extraordinary. The princess put an armful of painting scrolls in front of me, and patted my head: "Take a good look, they are all beautiful. Then, you can tell me how you feel." I bowed my head and opened one of them.At this time, the princess' servants and maids came in one after another, and none of them blamed Aya and me or wanted to drive us out.A maid carried three bowls of tea on a tray, placed them on a small table, and stepped aside.I saw that the tray she used was made of high-quality mahogany, with exquisite patterns carved on the sides and bottom of the tray. I thought, if four pearls were inlaid on the four corners, it would definitely be a blessing for it. A lot of color is added to make it a real work of art. The princess asked Aya to sit down and drink tea, and I wanted to drink it too. The fragrance of the tea came to my nostrils, and I felt more and more thirsty. The princess's politeness made Aya at a loss.But I couldn't wait any longer, picked up the tea bowl and drank a big mouthful of tea, then spit out the tea again. I was burned.Everyone laughed, and Aya's face turned red and white. "Are you all right?" the princess asked me. I stuck out my tongue and started looking at the picture. On this day, Aya and I didn't leave her tent until the princess kept the money for dinner.Before leaving, the princess touched my face and said, "Venus Cecia, you are always welcome." I looked up at her and asked worriedly, "Really?" The princess smiled: "Really." "So, tomorrow, can I still come?" "You can come anytime." I reached out and pinched her sleeve: "You mean what you say?" "count." I laughed.Aya said, at that moment, my smile was very bright. I believe so.Because from that moment on, Princess Oeira became my other mother, even though she was only eleven years older than me. No matter how violent Aya's temper is, she always shows a docile attitude in front of the princess who is more than 30 years younger than her.Seriously, if they saw her lowering their brows and pleasing eyes in front of Princess Oela, King Timur and Shanai would definitely raise their glasses of wine to congratulate, and then talk about Aya's bullying of Shanai in the past, laughing hard.Especially King Timur, the demon king who made countless people tremble in front of him, but it was him who tried hard and soft, and tried his best to subdue Aya, but later he got a headache when he saw Aya. I'm afraid this is one thing and one thing.The majesty of an iron-willed monarch can sometimes be inferior to the beautiful and gentle smile of a weak woman. The appearance of Princess Oeira completely changed my life.I was no longer the girl who ran around and made trouble for Aya, and the paintings and artwork of the princess kept me in her yurt longer and longer every day.Of course, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that I like to stay with the princess, just listening to her talk to me tenderly, or listening to her tell me all kinds of anecdotes during the trip, I already feel like a princess. The happiest child in the world. For the first time in my life, I felt the grace of God's will, so I was very grateful for the Longevity Heaven that the princess believed in. But at that time, I didn't know the real life experience of the princess.I didn't know until many years later that she was the posthumous son of Emperor Yuanshun, the last emperor of the Yuan Dynasty in China.In the 873rd year of the Muslim calendar (about 1368), Zhu Yuanzhang's general Xu Da conquered Dadu, Emperor Shun was defeated and went to Shangdu, and the Yuan Dynasty fell.The following year, the Ming army attacked Shangdu again, and Emperor Shun retreated to Yingchang Mansion (now Chifeng Keqi), where he died soon after. The princess was born in the second month after the death of Emperor Shun. The princess's biological mother, Concubine Su, was the last concubine accepted by Emperor Shun in Shangdu. Her skin was fairer than snow, and her face was like a flower. In the last time of the movie, only by her side can I sleep peacefully. After Emperor Shun died of illness, Zhu Yuanzhang sent a large army to attack Yingchang Mansion again. The crown prince led the defeated soldiers back to the old capital Harahelin, and officially announced his accession to the throne.Zhaozong had long coveted Concubine Su's youth and beauty, and soon after he came to the throne, he took Concubine Su as his own.It can also be regarded as love of the house and Wu. During the eight years of Zhaozong's reign, Princess Ouyila, like her mother Concubine Su, lived a comfortable life that can be regarded as rich and well-clothed. In the eighth year of Xuanguang, Emperor Zhaozong died of illness, and the emperor's younger brother Tuo Gusi Timur succeeded him.The new emperor listened to the slander of the empress and the uncle of the country, and decreed that Concubine Su should die.The loyal servants Suodu and Zirkas had to take the young princess to escape from Khala Horin. A few years later, they came to the river area ruled by the Western Chagatai Khanate. The unfortunate experience of Princess Oela did not hurt me much. I am only grateful for the generosity of Changshengtian, allowing her to come to me and be my protector.My potential was quickly discovered, and soon after, she wore the first gold and silver twisted ring inlaid with rubies on her right ring finger. The unique and rich style of the ring soon became popular in the court. When I was nine years old, the princess was invited into the city of Samarkand by King Timur and Queen Tuma.They renovated a quiet and comfortable residence for the princess in the city. After Princess Oela lived in it, the local people gradually got used to calling it "Olinburg".At the same time, King Timur also handed over his youngest son, Prince Shahru, who was only four years older than me, to the princess for education and care. I don't know how Shaharu felt different from me when he saw Princess Oeira for the first time. I only firmly remember the way he looked at the princess.Those eyes were filled with all the admiration of a child.Even though there were more intertwined love and resentment in his eyes in the future, it still couldn't change the color of admiration. From this day on, Princess Oeira, Prince Shahru, and I, the three of us have become a family. Soon, I designed a pair of earrings for the princess. The shape of the earrings looks rather like a drop of water dripping down.To make this pair of earrings, I used a total of thirty-six pearls like rice grains and two diamonds of appropriate size. When the earrings are worn on the princess' ears, they look like two crystal drops of water shining in the sun. The princess wore this pair of earrings to attend a grand banquet held by King Timur in honor of Tok Khan.This was the last time Toke Khan drank in the same tent with his benefactor King Timur when he was alive, and it was also the first time Toke Khan saw the princess.He looked like he was going to turn the princess into a painting and bring it back to the Golden Horde to hang in his prosperous but lonely khan palace. When Tok Khan stared at the princess intently, I clearly felt Shah Ru's uneasiness and displeasure. However, the female relatives always paid attention to the princess's attire, and this time, they paid the most attention to the earrings she wore on her earlobe. The unique style of the earrings once again attracted court ladies to emulate, and Cecia's name seemed to be known overnight.In fact, I was like a young eagle that just learned to soar, only to soar into the sky. I have stayed with Princess Oela proudly ever since. When there is no war, Aya and Shanai often come to the city to visit me and the princess. Every time, they will bring some fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs, etc. to the princess from the orchard they planted.The princess always accepts their gifts with joy, and when they leave, the princess will give them some food or jewelry in return.They and the princess never refuse each other's gifts, because they sincerely regard each other as relatives.Aya solemnly warned me more than once that meeting the princess is my blessing, and she wants me to cherish it.And I answer her every time: I know. A few months later, I entered the court room to serve King Timur. My task was to package gifts from foreign countries or gifts from our country to other countries in a special way to make them beautiful and pleasing to the eye.I have a salary, and King Timur pays me silver coins.The princess is especially proud of this. She often said that when I grow up, I will save a large dowry for myself. Whoever is lucky enough to marry me as his wife will be that person's blessing. She didn't know that it was unbelievably remote for me to marry myself off.My biggest wish is to earn a lot of silver coins, and then add a few more world-famous paintings to the princess's collection.
